Your First Visits

The objective of your first visits is to establish everything we need to know about you and your condition in order to provide you with outstanding care and service. Usually, you will need to allow half an hour for each visit.

Visit #1

Confidential Patient Information

Completion of some brief paperwork about you and your condition.

History

An in depth discussion about your current and past condition(s), and your medical history. This helps us to identify how your condition may have occurred and if it is related to other health issues you may have.

Examination

sEMG Spinal Scan

A full musculoskeletal examination consisting of sEMG spinal scan, postural assessment, range of movement, muscle strength testing, spinal motion palpation, and a range of specialised orthopaedic tests. This enables us to determine where your problem is and what structures are involved (the problem is not always at the site of pain !)

Following this, if indicated, you will be referred for a spinal x-ray. Spinal x-rays allow us to completely analyse your spinal characteristics, help us to rule out more serious conditions and assist us in the development of the most effective care plan for you.

Visit #2 Your Report of Findings

On this visit, you will receive a detailed explantion of the results obtained on your first visit and a full explanation of your spinal x-rays.

During this visit, you will be given ample opportunity to ask questions.

A program of care will be recommended, in addition to some simple spinal care guidelines to follow whilst under care.

A “manual” adjustment

Your First Adjustment

Depending on your condition and individual needs, the choice of your adjusting technique will be discussed. We use both manual and low force adjusting techniques.

Whatever the adjusting technique that suits your spine, all techniques are extremely safe, gentle and effective for all ages.

And then . . .

Following these visits, most of our patients undergo a program of care. Your care plan is specifically tailored for your needs and will vary according to your individual circumstances and spinal condition.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns during your care, please tell us!

Jenny my partner and I have been going to better backs for over 14 years. We both went originally on a recommendation from a friend. As well as initially fixing serious back and neck problems Better Backs have done a regular maintenance program ever since which has fixed many minor health issues. We have found them very professional and helpful with looking after our overall health as we became older. On several occasions they have treated serious joint issues and have been able to save us visits to specialist medical practitioners by simply adjustment. I would recommend them to anyone.

If I could rate these guys 10 stars out of 5 I would. Better backs aren't just about giving you a better back or 'cracking you into place', they are also about working on the nervous system and psychologically helping you. Personally suffering from anxiety, whenever I walk into that clinic i know I'll be walking out a better person physically and mentally just by a 10 minute magic show. I'm not sure how they do it but whatever problem I have they can fix almost instantly. Have a headache? Have an adjustment. Have a sore knee, neck or even toe? Have an adjustment. Need to focus for an exam or paperwork? Have an adjustment.
Better backs has literally changed my life and has shown me that chiropractors aren't bone crackers, not these guys anyway, they are magicians helping people get better without medication. The service especially is always impeccable, the receptionist always fits in appointments around my time schedule with a beaming smile as well as creating a great vibe whenever I'm in the clinic. This is the best chiropractic team I have ever been to (and I've been to more than a few). If you want more than a better back and an even better life, go to better backs. They will change your life, I guarantee.

Me and my husband have been attending this Chiropractic service for many years and would highly recommend them to anyone. The team are very friendly, warm and welcoming and always have time for a friendly chat and a laugh.
They are highly skilled at what they do and are always improving their knowledge by keeping up with new developments in the Chiropractic field.
I haven't met anyone yet that they haven't been able to help.
I have sent many of my work colleagues along to meet the team and they have not been disappointed with their results. I have seen them transformed from being totally dependent on pain killers, to becoming pain free, happy and healthy.
So go along, meet the team, you'll have nothing to lose except your ill health.

So glad I found my way to Better Backs Better Living a few years ago - I'm so well looked after by them all and can't imagine going anywhere else. I now have a much 'Better Back' (and neck and shoulders!) and highly recommend them to everyone in need of chiropractic help.

Better Backs Better Living are trustworthy and professional specialists, and this is of utmost importance when seeking care for your spine. I recommend this business for acute problems as well as continued maintenance of body systems. I have been regularly seeing Pierre for over three years for numerous ailments as well as general maintenance for my health. Thanks for the superb service.
